Question
isomaltose is a disaccharide which can be
obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of
amylopectin. Deduce the structure of
isomaltose from the following data:
a. The hydrolysis of 1 mole of isomaltose with
acid or alpha-glucosidase yields 2 moles of D-
glucose.
b. Isomaltose is a reducing sugar
c. Isomaltose is oxidized with bromine water
to isomaltonic acid. Insomaltonic acid
methylation followed by hydrolysis yielded
2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-glucose and 2,3,4,5-
tetra-O-methyl-D-gluconate acid.
d. Isomaltose methylation itself followed by
hydrolysis to produce 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-
D-glucose and 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-glucose.
Describe according to the four points above
